The Hayden Foundation Student Success Scholarship is making a lasting impact, helping hundreds of University of Rhode Island students stay on track toward their academic goals and future careers.

In fall 2024, the Hayden Foundation of Rhode Island made a generous $750,000 gift to support Rhode Island students facing unexpected financial challenges.
